In order to apply for funding from CISU, the organization must have an annual account which has been subject to audit. The account must be uploaded at Vores CISU.

Requirements for the annual account at the time of application

The annual account must be audited by either an authorized approved auditor or a not professionally trained auditor chosen by the organization. If the last option is the case, the auditor must fulfill regular requirements of hability, i.e. there must not be circumstances that can bring doubt to the person's independence. The auditor can be a member of the organization, but can not be part of the board.

The annual account must be signed by the auditor and the person authorized to sign on behalf of the organization. Either handwritten in the document or with digital signature.

The annual account must as a minimum contain a) an income statement with turnover and expenses and b) a balance with assets and liabilities, and including equity.

CISU must be able to see that the organization has a minimum of 25/50 paying members or financial contributors (see the guidelines for the different pools for their specific requirements). If it is not clear in the account, CISU can request other forms of documentation. This could for instance be a list of members and a bank statement showing fee payments.
